Paleontologists have described a new species of giant, spineless hedgehog that lived in what is today the Gargano peninsula of Italy during the late Miocene, about 10-7 million years ago. This is an artist’s reconstruction of Deinogalerix koenigswaldi, the largest known Deinogalerix species. Image credit: © Roman Yevseyev / Other-worlds.ucoz.ru.

Some of them were subject to insular gigantism, a phenomenon where small animals that live on isolated islands tend to grow larger because of a lack of competition and predators. The newly discovered…

A new study, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, shows how anomodonts – ancient relatives of modern mammals – recovered in the aftermath of Earth’s most severe mass extinction, about 252 million years ago, when about 90 per cent of marine organisms and 70 per cent of terrestrial species became extinct. The pig-size Permian anomodont Dicynodon lacerticeps (Marlene Donnelly / Field Museum of Natural History). “The number of anomodont species increased during the Permian, sharply dropped during the end-Permian extinction event, and then rebounded in the Middle Triassic Period before the final extinction of the group at the end of the…

An artist’s conception depicts a multituberculate in its natural habitat at the time of the dinosaurs (Jude Swales / Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture) A study, published online in the journal Nature, suggests that the multituberculates did so well in part because they developed numerous tubercles (bumps, or cusps) on their back teeth that allowed them to feed largely on angiosperms, flowering plants that were just becoming commonplace.…
